1-3  Key  F. 

WILL  you  go  to  Jesus  now,  dear  friend? 

He  is  calling  you  to-day ; 
Will  you  seek  the  bright  and  better  land, 

By  "the  true  and  living  way?  " 

CHO. — I  will,  I  will !  by  the  grace  of  God, 
I  will  go  to  Jesus  now;       [I  will ; 
I  will  heed  the  gospel  call, 
For  the  promise  is  for  all ; 
I  will  go  to  Jesus  now. 

2  Would  you  know  the  Saviour's  bound- 
And  his  mercy  rich  and  free  ?    [less  love, 

Will  you  seek  the  saving,  cleansing  blood, 
That  was  shed  for  you  and  me  ? 

3  Will  you  consecrate  your  life  to  him, 
To  be.  ever  his  alone  ? 

And  your  loving  service  freely  yield, 
To  the  King  upon  his  throne. 

4  Will  you  follow  where  the  Master  leads, 
Choosing  only  his  renown, 

Will  you  daily  bear  the  cross  for  him 
Till  he  bids  you  wear  the  crown  ? 

— E.  E.  Hewitt. 

4  Key  Ab. 

Eternal  life  is  in  God's  Word 

For  dead  and  dying  men  ; 

By  it  alone  we  know  the  Lord, 

Unseen  by  mortal  ken.  ,,.     . 

3  Word, 

Cho. — O   blessed   Word,   O   gracious 

We'll  love  thee  more  and  more  ; 

Be  thou  our  Life,  our  Strength,  our 

'Till  earthly  strife  is  o'er.   [Sword 

2  God's  strength  is  in  his  Holy  Word  ; 
We  need  it  every  day : 
In  all  our  conflicts  this  the  sword 
Our  spirit  foes  to  slay. 


3  By  this  same  Word  we  know  our  task. 
And  how  it  should  be  done ; 
How  now  to  live,  and  how  at  last 
Our  crown  is  to  be  won. 

-L.  \V.  Munhall. 

5  Key  El. 

I  will  sing  the  wondrous  story, 
Of  the  Christ  who  died  for  me, 

How  he  left  his  home  in  glory, 
For  the  cross  on  Calvary. 

Cho. — Yes,  I'll  sing  the  wondrous  story 
Of  the  Christ  who  died  for  me, 
Sing  it  with  the  saints  in  glory, 
Gathered  by  the  crystal  sea. 

2  I  was  lost,  but  Jesus  found  me, 

Found  the  sheep  that  went  astray ; 
Threw  his  loving  arms  around  me, 
Drew  me  back  into  his  way. 

3  I  was  bruised,  but  Jesus  healed  me, 

Faint  was  I  from  many-a  fall,  [me. 
Sight  was  gone,  and  fears  possessed 
But  he  freed  me  from  them  all. 

4  Days  of  darkness  still  come  o'er  me, 

Sorrow's  path  I  often  tread, 

But  the  Saviour  still  is  with  me, 

By  his  hand  I'm  safely  led. 

5  He  will  keep  me  till  the  river 

Rolls  its  waters  at  my  feet; 
Then  he'll  bear  me  safely  over, 
Where  the  loved  ones  I  shall  meet. 
— F.  H.  Rawlcy. 

6  Key  G. 

We  shall  reach  the  river  side 
Some  sweet  day,  some  sweet  day ; 

We  shall  cross  the  stormy  tide 
Some  sweet  day,  some  sweet  day; 


REDEMPTION  SONGS. 


We  shall  press  the  sands  of  gold, 
While  before  our  eyes  unfold 
Heaven's  splendors,  yet  untold, 
Some  sweet  day,  some  sweet  day. 

2  We  shall  pass  inside  the  gate 
Some  sweet  day,  some  sweet  day  ; 

Peace  and  plenty  for  us  wait 

Some  sweet  day,  some  sweet  day; 
We  shall  hear  the  wondrous  strain, 
Glory  to  the  Lamb  that's  slain, 
Christ  was  dead,  but  lives  again, 
Some  sweet  day,  some  sweet  day. 

3  We  shall  meet  our  loved  and  own 
Some  sweet  day,  some  sweet  day; 

Gath'ring  round  the  great  white  throne 
Some  sweet  day,  some  sweet  day ; 

By  the  tree  of  life  so  fair, 

Joy  and  rapture  ev'rywhere, 

O  the  bliss  of  over  there ! 

Some  sweet  day,  some  sweet  day. 

— Arthur  W.  French. 

7  Key   G. 

I'VE  a  message  from  the  Lord,  hallelujah  ! 

The  message  unto  you  I'll  give, 
'Tis  recorded  in  his  word,  hallelujah  ! 

It  is  only  that  you  "look  and  live." 

Cho — Look  and  live,  my  brother,  live,

8  Key  Ab. 

1  was  wandering  and  weary- 
When  my  Saviour  came  unto  me  ; 

For  the  ways  of  sin  grew  dreary, 
And  the  world  had  ceased  to  woo  me ; 
And  I  thought  I  heard  him  say, 
As  he  came  along  his  way,      r 

Cho. — O  wand'ring  souls,  come  near 
|:  My  sheep  should  never  fear  me,  :|| 
I  am  the  Shepherd  true. 

2  At  first  I  would  not  hearken, 
And  put  off  till  the  morrow ; 

But  life  began  to  darken, 
And  I  was  sick  with  sorrow ; 

Still  I  thought  I  heard  him  say, 
As  he  came  along  his  way, 

3  At  last  I  stopped  to  listen, 

His  voice  could  not  deceive  me; 
I  saw  his  kind  eyes  glisten, 
So  anxious  to  relieve  me. 
I  was  sure  I  heard  him  say, 
As  he  came  along  his  way, 

4  He  took  me  on  his  shoulder, 
And  tenderly  he  kissed  me; 

He  bade  my  love  be  bolder, 
And  said  how  he  had  missed  me ; 
Then  I  heard  him  sweetly  say, 
As  he  went  along  his  way, 

5  I  thought  his  love  would  weaken, 
As  more  and  more  he  knew  me; 

But  it  burnetii  like  a  beacon, 
And  its  light  and  heat  go  thro'  me. 
And  I  ever  hear  him  say, 
As  he  goes  along  his  way, 

6  Let  us  do,  then,  dearest  brothers, 
What  will  best  and  longest  please  us. 

Follow  not  the  ways  of  others, 
And  trust  ourselves  to  Jesus. 
We  shall  ever  hear  him  say, 
As  he  goes  along  his  way, 

— F.  W.  Faber. 

9  Key  Bb.

King,

That  is  built  of  gold ;

We  shall  soon  behold  ; 

Glory  to  God,  hallelujah  ! 

4  There  we'll  shout  redeeming  mercy 
In  a  glad,  new  song; 

Glory  to  God,  hallelujah  ! 
There  we'll  sing  the  praise  of  Jesus 
With  the  blood-washed  throng : 

Glory  to  God,  hallelujah  !

Cho. — When  we  all  meet  again 

In  the  morning, 
On  the  sweet  blooming  hills 

In  the  morning; 
Nevermore  to  say  good  night, 
In  that  sunny  region  bright, 
When  we  hail  the  blessed  light 

Of  the  morning,

How  they  dim  our  aching  eyes, 
But  Tike  jewels  they  will  shine

When  our  victor  palms  we  bear. 
And  our  robes  immortal  wear, 
We  shall  know  each  other  there, 

In  the  morning. 

3  When  our  fettered  souls  are  free, 
Far  beyond  the  narrow  sea, 
And  we  hear  the  Saviour's  voice 

In  the  morning ; 
When  our  golden  sheaves  we  bring 
To  the  feet  of  Christ  our  King, 
What  a  chorus  we  shall  sing 

In  the  morning. 

4  Thro'  our  pilgrim  journey  here, 
Tho'  the  night  is  sometimes  drear, 
Let  us  watch  and  persevere 

Till  the  morning; 
Then  our  highest  tribute  raise 
For  the  love  that  crowns  our  days, 
And  to  Jesus  give  the  praise 

In  the  morning.    —Lizzie  Edwards.

There  are  songs  of  joy  that  I  loved  to  sing,

When  I  come  to  the  gloom  of  the  evenfall,

Have  a  path  of  light  that  will  lead  to  him.

Wherefore  still  the  Spirit  grieve?

Waft  it  on  with  praying  breath,

O  ye  wand'rers,  come  to  Jesus,

Can  you  ever  need  him  more? 

3  Do  not  think  your  works  have  merit, 
Cast  your  deadly  goodness  down  ; 

Not  by  these  can  you  inherit 
Life  eternal— heaven's  crown.

For  you  surely  will  be  lost ;

Come,,  at  once,  at  any  cost. 


5  He  from  heaven  came  to  save  you, 
Hung  upon  th'-accursed  tree, 

'Rose  from  death  to  justify  you, 
Waits  to  intercede  for  thee.

In  repentance,  faith,  and  love;

Take  you  to  his  home  above.

When  the  favor  divine 

1  received  thro'  the  blood  of  the  Lamb ; 

When  my  heart  first  believed, 
What  a  joy  I  received — 
What  a  heaven  in  Jesus'  name  !

My  Redeemer  to  know, 

And  the  angels  could  do  nothing  more 

Than  to  fall  at  his  feet, 

And  the  story  repeat, 
And  the  Lover  of  sinners  adore.

Would  we  have  one  sorrow  less?

Not  a  ray  of  light  could  I  see,

There's  no  hope  for  a  sinner  like  me.

And  oh,  what  a  joy  came  to  me  ; 

My  heart  was  filled  with  his  praises, 
For  saving  a  sinner  like  me.

140  Key  Bb. 

On  the  desert  mountain  straying, 

Far,  far  from  home, 
Heard  I  there  a  sweet  voice,  saying, 

Why  wilt  thou  roam  ? 


Cho. — 'Twas  my  blessed  Lord  that 

sought  me, 
Out  of  sin  to  grace  he  brought  me, 
Oh,  the  glad,  new  song  he  taught  me,— 
Praise,  praise  his  name  ! 

2  At  a  throne  of  mercy  kneeling, 

Sad  and  oppressed, 
Came  that  voice,  to  me  revealing 
Hope,  life,  j.nd  rest. 

3  Oft  I  heard  that  voice  repeating, 

"  I  am  the  way. 
Tarry  not,  the  hours  are  fleeting, 
Come,  come  to-day." 

4  When  from  glorv  unto  glory 

My  flight  shall  be, 
Still  I'll  sing  the  precious  story, 
Saviour,  of  thee.

Fightings  within,  and  fears  without,

4  Just  as  I  am— poor,  wretched,  blind  ; 
Sight,  riches,  healing  of  the  mind, 
Yea,  all  I  need,  in  thee  to  find,

5  Just  as  I  am — thou  wilt  receive, 
Wilt  welcome, pardon,  cleanse,  relieve

Come,  thou  Fount  of  every  blessing, 

Tune  my  heart  to  sing  thy  grace ; 
Streams  of  mercy,  never  ceasing, 

Call  for  songs  of  loudest  praise; 
Teach  me  some  melodious  sonnet, 

Sung  by  flaming  tongues  above ; 
Praise  the  mount — I'm  fixed  upon  it ! 

Mount  of  thy  redeeming  love. 

2  Here  I  raise  my  Ebenezer, 
Hither  by  thy  help  I'm  come; 

And  I  hope,  by  thy  good  pleasure, 

Safely  to  arrive  at  home. 
Jesus  sought  me  when  a  stranger, 

Wandering  from  the  fold  of  God  ; 
He,  to  rescue  me  from  danger, 

Interposed  his  precious  blood.

Daily  I'm  constrained  to  be  ! 

Let  thy  goodness,  like  a  fetter, 
Bind!  my  wandering  heart  to  thee ; 

Prone  to  wander,  Lord,  I  feel  it — 
Prone  to  leave  the  God  I  love —

Seal  it  for  thy  courts  above.

For  even  me  to  plead  ;

To  come  and  follow  him.

I  entered  once  a  home  of  care, 
For  age  and  penury  were  there, 
Yet  peace  and  joy  withal ; 

1  asked  the  lonely  mother  whence 
Her  helpless  widowhood's  defense, 

She  told  me  "  Christ  was  all." 

Cho.— !':  Christ  is  all,  all  in  all,

2  I  stood  beside  a  dying  bed, 
Where  lay  a  child  with  aching  head, 

Waiting  for  Jesus'  call ; 
I  marked  his  smile,  'twas  sweet  as  May, 
And  as  his  spirit  passed  away, 

He  whispered,  "  Christ  is  all." 

3  I  saw  the  martyr  at  the  stake,  [shake, 
The   flames    could    not    his    courage 

Nor  death  his  soul  appal,  [given, 
I  asked  him  whence  his  strength  was 
He  looked  triumphantly  to  heaven, 

And  answered,  "  Christ  is  all." 

4  I  saw  the  gospel  herald  go, — 

To  Afric's  sand  and  Greenland's  snow, 

To  save  from  Satan's  thrall, 
Nor  home  nor  life  he  counted  dear, 
'Midst  wants  and  perils  owned  no  fear, 
He  felt  that  "  Christ  is  all." 

5  I  dreamed  that  hoary  time  had  fled, 
And  earth  and  sea  gave  up  their  dead, 

A  fire  dissolved  this  ball, 
I  saw  the  church's  ransomed  throng, 
I  heard  the  burden  of  their  song, 

'Twas  "  Christ  is  all  in  all."

The  Father,  Son,  and  Spirit  say; 

The  Bride  repeats  the  call,

'Tis  then  I  lift  my  fainting  soul 
In  prayer  that  I  may  be 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, 
Nearer  to  thee. 

2  When  joys  that  once  I  thought  sotrue 
Have  lost  each  balmy  sweet,      fers, 

And  withered  hopes,  like  summer  flow- 
Lie  crushed  beneath  my  feet, 

With  quivering  lip  and  yearning  heart 
I  pray  on  bended  knee, 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, 
Nearer  to  thee. 

3  While  day  by  day  I  journey  on 
To  reach  that  world  sublime, 

That  stands  in  perfect  loveliness 

Beyond  the  shore  of  time  ; 
My  faith  looks  up  and  softly  breathes 
The  prayer  so  dear  to  me, 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, 
Nearer  to  thee.

Oft  I  hear  hope  sweetly  singing, 

Softly  in  an  undertone; 
Singing  as  if  God  had  taught  her — 

"  It  is  better  farther  on."        [song — 
Night  and  day  she  sings  this  same 

Sings  it  while  I  sit  alone, 
Sings  it  so  my  heart  may  hear  it — 

"  It  is  better  farther  on." 

2  When  my  faith  took  hold  on  Jesus, 
Light  divine  within  me  shone, 

And  I  know  since  that  glad  moment, 

"  It  is  better  farther  on." 
Daily  coming  to  the  fountain, 

Flowing  free  for  ev'ry  one, 
I  am  saved,  and  hope  is  singing — 

"  It  is  better  farther  on." 

3  Farther  on!  but  how  much  farther? 
Count  the  milestones  one  by  one ; 

No,  no  counting,  only  trusting — 

"  It  is  better  farther  on." 
Hope,  my  soul,  hope  on  forever, 

All  thy  doubts  and  fears  be  gone, 
Jesus  will  forsake  thee  never — 

"  It  is  better  farther  on."

Cleanse  this  guilty  heart  of  mine;

Bid  my  many  woes  depart,

Bid  her  long  night  of  weeping  cease ; 

To  groaning  nations  haste  the  hour 
Of  life  and  freedom,  light  and  peace. 

6  Come,  Spirit,  make  thy  wonders  known, 
Fulfil  the  Father's  high  decree; 

Then  earth,  the  might  of  hell  o'erthrown.

Saviour,  I  have  heard  thee  pleading, 

Passionately  interceding, 

Seen  thy  great  heart  broken,  bleeding, 

All  for  me,  all  for  me ; 
Lo,  I  come,  the  past  lamenting, 
For  the  wasted  years  repenting, 
And  my  life  henceforth  presenting 

All  for  thee,  all  for  thee. 

2  Thou  didst  stoop  in  thy  compassion 
To  be  found  in  human  fashion, 

And  endure  thy  nameless  passion 

All  for  me,  all  for  me ; 
In  thy  name  I  come  believing, 
Of  thy  grace  with  joy  receiving, 
And  the  world  behind  me  leaving, 

All  for  thee,  all  for  thee. 

3  Moved  by  love  divine  and  tender, 
Thou  didst  joyfully  surrender 
Palaces  of  rest  and  splendor 

All  for  me,  all  for  me; 
Now  my  soul  to  life  awaking 
Finds  her  highest  joy  in  breaking 
Bonds  that  bound  her,  and  forsaking 

All  for  thee,  all  for  thee. 

4  'Neath  the  cross  I  see  thee  bending, 
To  the  place  of  skulls  ascending, 
None  attending,  none  befriending, 

All  for  me,  all  for  me ; 
Now  my  heart  with  thy  life  beating 
To  each  cross  shall  give  glad  greeting, 
While  my  lips  are  still  repeating 

All  for  thee,  all  for  thee. 

5  In  thy  Father's  glory  sharing, 
And  the  crown  of  ages  wearing. 
Thou  art  now  a  home  preparing 

All  for  me,  all  for  me ; 
With  the  souls  of  thy  befriending, 
Saved  from  sorrow  never-ending 
Shall  my  song  be  heard  ascending 

All  for  thee,  all  for  thee.

Who  journey  along  day  by  day, 

Tasting  fruits  that  in  Canaan  abound, 
A  way  is  cast  up  for  our  feet

On  the  heads  of  the  ransomed  abide,

The  world  could  give  no  healingbalm , — 

But  now  the  wondrous  cure  I've  found,

The  light  that  beams  from  Calvary.

0  for  a  closer  walk  with  God, 
A  calm  and  heavenly  frame ; 

A  light  to  shine  upon  the  road 
That  leads  me  to  the  Lamb ! 

2  Where  is  the  blessedness  I  knew, 
When  first  I  saw  the  Lord? 

Where  is  the  soul-refreshing  view 
Of  Jesus  and  his  word? 

3  What  peaceful  hours  I  once  enjoyed ! 
How  sweet  their  memory  still ! 

But  they  have  left  an  aching  void 
The  world  can  never  fill. 

4  Return,  O  holy  Dove,  return, 
Sweet  messenger  of  rest ! 

1  hate  the  sins  that  made  thee  mourn, 
And  drove  thee  from  my  breast. 

5  The  dearest  idol  I  have  known, 
Whate'er  that  idol  be, 

Help  me  to  tear  it  from  thy  throne, 
And  worship  only  thee. 

6  So  shall  my  walk  be  close  with  God, 
Calm  and  serene  my  frame; 

So  purer  light  shall  mark  the  road 
That  leads  me  to  the  Lamb.

Perish  ev'ry  fond  ambition,     [known  ; 

All    I've    sought    and    hoped    and 
Yet  how  rich  is  my  condition, 

God  and  heaven  are  still  my  own !

And,  while  thou  shalt  smile  upon  me, 

God  of  wisdom,  love,  and  might.

Joy  to  find  in  every  station 
Something  still  to  do  or  bear.

The  house  of  thine  abode. 

The  Church  our  blest  Redeemer  saved 
With  his  own  precious  blood. 

2  I  love  thy  Church.  O  God ! 
Her  walls  before  thee  stand, 

Dear  as  the  apple  of  thine  eye, 
And  graven  on  thy  hand. 

3  For  her  my  tears  shall  fall, 
For  her  my  prayers  ascend  : 

To  her  my  cares  and  toils  be  given, 
Till  toils  and  cares  shall  end. 

4  Beyond  my  highest  joy 

I  prize  her  heavenly  ways, 
Her  sweet  communion,  solemn  vows, 
Her  hymns  of  love  and  praise.

To  Zion  shall  be  given 

The  brightest  glories  earth  can  yield, 
And  brighter  bliss  of  heaven.

Grace!  'tis  a  charming  sound, 

Harmonious  to  the  ear; 
Heaven  with  the  echo  shall  resound, 
And  all  the  earth  shall  hear.

To  save  rebellious  man ; 

And  all  the  steps  that  grace  display, 
Which  drew  the  wondrous  plan. 

3  Grace  taught  my  roving  feet 
To  tread  the  heavenly  road  ; 

And  new  supplies  each  hour  I  meet. 
While  pressing  on  to  God.

Through  everlasting  days ;

And  well  deserves  our  praise.

Blest  Lamb  of  Calvary  ; 
Humbly  at  thy  cross  I  bow, 
Save  me,  Jesus,  save  me  now. 

2  Long  my  heart  has  sighed  for  thee, 

Long  has  evil  reigned  within  ; 
Jesus  sweetly  speaks  to  me, — 
"  I  will  cleanse  you  from  all  sin." 

3  Here  I  give  my  all  to  thee,     [store ; 

Friends,   and   time,   and    earthly 
Soul  and  body  thine  to  be, — 
Wholly  thine  for  evermore. 

4  In  thy  promises  I  trust, 

Now  I  feel  the  blood  applied  : 
I  am  prostrate  in  the  dust, 
I  with  Christ  am  crucified. 

5  Jesus  comes  !  he  fills  my  soul ! 

Perfected  in  him  I  am  ; 
I  am  every  whit  made  whole: 
Glorv,  glory  to  the  Lamb. 

—Rev.  Wm.  McDonald.

In  the  Christian's  home  in  glory, 
There  remains  a  land  of  rest ; 

There  my  Saviour's  gone  before  me, 
To  fulfil  my  soul's  request.

On  the  other  side  of  Jordan, 
In  the  sweet  fields  of  Eden, 
Where  the  tree  of  life  is  blooming, 
There  is  rest  for  you. 

2  Pain  or  sickness  ne'er  shall  enter, 

Grief  nor  woe  my  lot  shall  share ; 
But  in  that  celestial  centre, 
I  a  crown  of  life  shall  wear. 

3  Death  itself  shall  then  be  vanquish'd, 

And  his  sting  shall  be  withdrawn  : 
Shout  for  gladness,  O  ye  ransomed  ! 
Hail  with  joy  the  rising  morn. 

4  Sing,  oh,  sing,  ye  heirs  of  glory  ; 

Shout  your  triumph  as  you  go;

506  Key  C. 

Arise,  my  soul,  arise; 

Shake  off  thy  guilty  fears ; 
The  bleeding  Sacrifice 
In  my  behalf  appears  : 
Before  the  throne  my  Surety  stands, 
My  name  is  written  on  his  hands. 

2  He  ever  lives  above. 

For  me  to  intercede ; 
His  all-redeeming  love, 

His  precious  blood  to  plead  ; 
His  blood  atoned  for  all  our  race, 
And  sprinkles  now  the  throne  of  grace. 

3  Five  bleeding  wounds  he  bears, 

Received  on  Calvary; 
They  pour  effectual  prayers, 

They  strongly  plead  for  me : 
"  Forgive  him,  O  forgive,"  they  cry, 
"  Nor  let  that  ransomed  sinner  die." 

4  The  Father  hears  him  pray, 

His  dear  anointed  One: 
He  cannot  turn  away 

The  presence  of  his  Son  : 
His  Spirit  answers  to  the  blood, 
And  tells  me  I  am  born  of  God. 

5  My  God  is  reconciled; 

His  pardoning  voice  I  hear: 
He  owns  me  for  his  child ; 
I  can  no  longer  fear : 
With  confidence  I  now  draw  nigh, 
And,  "  Father,  Abba,  Father,"  cry.

The  morning  light  is  breaking; 

The  darkness  disappears; 
The  sons  of  earth  are  waking 
.  To  penitential  tears ; 
Each  breeze  that  sweeps  the  ocean 

Brings  tidings  from  afar, 
Of  nations  in  commotion, 

Prepared  for  Zion's  war. 
See  heathen  nations  bending 

Before  the  God  we  love, 
And  thousand  hearts  ascending 

In  gratitude  above ; 


While  sinners,  now  confessing, 

The  gospel  call  obey, 
And  seek  the  Saviour's  blessing, 

A  nation  in  a  day. 

3  Blest  river  of  salvation, 

Pursue  thine  onward  way; 
Flow  thou  to  every  nation, 
Nor  in  thy  richness  stay  : 
Stay  not  till  all  the  lowly 

Triumphant  reach  their  home: 
Stay  not  till  all  the  holy 

Proclaim.  "  The  Lord  is  come !  "

Stand  up,  stand  up  for  Jesus, 

Ye  soldiers  of  the  cross ; 
Lift  high  his  royal  banner, 

It  must  not  suffer  loss; 
From  victory  unto  victory 

His  army  shall  he  lead 
Till  every  foe  is  vanquished 

And  Christ  is  Lord  indeed. 

Stand  up,  stand  up  for  Jesus, 

The  trumpet  call  obey; 
Forth  to  the  mighty  conflict, 

In  this  his  glorious  day: 
"Ye  that  are  men,  now  serve  him," 

Against  unnumbered  foes: 
Your  courage  rise  with  danger, 

And  strength  to  strength  oppose. 

Stand  up.  stand  up  for  Jesus. 

Stand  in  his  strength  alone; 
The  arm  of  flesh  will  fail  you ; 

Ye  dare  not  trust  your  own  : 
Put  on  the  gospel  armor, 

Each  piece  put  on  with  prayer; 
Where  duty  calls,  or  danger, 

Be  never  wanting  there. 

Stand  up,  stand  up  for  Jesus, 
The  strife  will  not  be  long; 

This  day  the  noise  of  battle. 
The  next  the  victor's  song: 

To  him  that  overcometh, 
A  crown  of  life  shall  be  ; 

He  with  the  King  of  glory 

Shall  reign  eternally.

Aud  sing  thy  great  Redeemer's  praise : 
He  justly  claims  a  song  from  me, 
His  loving-kindness,  oh,  how  free!

Yet  loved  me  notwithstanding  all ; 
He  saved  me  from  my  lost  estate, 
His  loving  kindness,  oh,  how  great !

Though  earth  and  hell  my  way  oppose,

Has  gathered   thick,  and   thundered

When  Jesus  laid  his  crown  aside, 

He  came  to  save  me  ; 
When  on  the  cross  he  bled  and  died,    j 

He  came  to  save  me.

I'm  so  glad  that  Jesus  came, 

He  came  to  save  me. 

2  In  my  poor  heart  he  deigns  to  dwell, 

He  came  to  save  me ; 
Oh,  praise  his  name,  I  know  it  well, 
He  came  to  save  me. 

3  With  gentle  hand  he  leads  me  still, 

He  came  to  save  me ; 

And  trusting  him  I  fear  no  ill, 

He  came  to  save  me. 


4  To  him  my  faith  with  rapture  clings,

He  sets  the  prisoner  free ; 

His  blood  can  make  the  foulest  clean  ; 
His  blood  availed  for  me.

New  life  the  dead  receive; 

The  mournful,  broken  hearts  rejoice; 
The  humble  poor  believe.

Your  loosened  tongues  employ ; 

Ye  blind,  behold  your  Saviour  come; 
And  leap,  ye  lame,  for  joy.

Eternal  life  and  light 

Lost  by  the  fiery,  maddening  bowl, 
And  turned  to  hopeless  night. 

3  Mourn  for  the  lost,— but  call, 
Call  to  the  strong,  the  free ; 

Rouse  them  to  shun  that  dreadful  fall, 
And  to  the  refuge  flee.

Pray  to  our  God  above, 
To  break  the  fell  destroyer's  sway, 

And  show  his  saving  love.

Joyfully  sing,  let  us  joyfully 
Joy  to  the  world  !  the  Lord  is

Just  as  thou  art,  without  one 
Just  beyond  the  rolling  river,

Land  of  bliss,  where  th  j  fields 
Lead  me,  lead  me,     . 
Let  the  path  be  bright,  with 
Listen  to  the  "  still  small  voice,' 
Listen  to  the  blessed  invitation 
Listen  to  the  voice  of  Jesus, 
Little  sunbeams  iu  their  bright- 
Long,  weary  hours  in  sin  I 
Looking  to  Jesus,  bright  Star

Nearer,  ray  God,  to  thee !  . 
Nearer  the  cross,  my  heart  can. 
Nearer  to  Jesus,  his  precious    .
